Bring on the snow, meow! This season we are thrilled to announce we are working with Jones Pass Guides, a snowcat operation out of Empire, Colorado. Operating 2 snowcats in a permitted area of 2,600 acres with elevations from 10,500’ to 12,800’ they have access to three unique bowls with both touring and snowcat access. Offering backcountry workshops, private groups up to 21 people and even a full season membership deal. We're thinking skip Vegas and book a truly adventurous bachelorette/bachelor party or a non boring corporate team building day. However, we are even more excited to be working with Marily’s childhood friend Ehren Samuelson, the owner operator serial entrepreneur family man. (Who also happens to own Samuelson Outfitters, the Lavender Elephant horse yoga retreat facilitator that Marily has been involved with for 10 years with Ehren's wife Abbey...snowcats & yoga mats also has a nice ring.)

The Samuelson’s are an ambitious bunch who run several successful businesses (TM fencing, wedding planning, Lavender Elephant Boutique, industrial seamstress, youth horse camps...etc.) and are always eye’n new opportunities. Having run a family owned hunting outfitter, jumping into the ski and ride hospitality business seems to be an easy addition. “I am a fifth generation Grand County ranch owner who grew up exploring the Fraser Valley. A rural upbringing in a resort town exposed me to diverse pursuits which built core beliefs, solid work ethic and hands on skills. A hunger to explore different cultures, mindsets and terrain took me abroad, where I experienced new hemispheres and ways of thinking and dreaming. As an active entrepreneur, life long snowboarder and volunteer firefighter, this recent acquisition has been a lifelong dream and I am dedicated to making outdoor recreation of this caliber safely attainable.” ~Ehren
